This is my first season watching. Is Jillian always like that? I was happy to see her soft side come out when the last guy was sent home last night. It was very motivating for me. I am not a night person but got off my butt and did 30 day shred last night after watching and then Zumba!

I can't really explain it but I'm disappointed this season. I want to like JM, I buy a crap ton of her DVDs, but there is just something I can't stand about her interactions with people this season. She pissed me off when she was talking to the kids in the first episode, it was something she said to Sunny. I can't even remember what exactly she said but it was very off putting.

I agree about Jillian being off-putting. She should have seen that she needed to chill out on that Nikki girl that left. It is terrible that she just quit and left when there are so many other deserving people that needed to be there but I wonder if Bob was her trainer, would she still be there? I hope she tones it down a little... as I really want to like Jillian. I follow her on FB and like her posts and seeing her family pics.

I missed the first episode, but have it DVR'd so I can catch up even though I have watched the second episode.

Sooo:

WTF, JM? She's coming off as arrogant and bitchy. I know her job is to motivate, but this isn't Ranger training... we're talking people who are 200-300 lbs overweight and have likely never done anything close to what they're going through. They're afraid, homesick, overwhelmed, embarassed, and really struggling, and she looks incapable of training/teaching/motivating. I hope she gets her act together or she'll be out of a job (because her team has been sent home!)

Bob is always a pleasure to watch. Love him. He seems to find a good balance between nurturing and pushing.

OMG, I'm watching the first episode of the first season and of course it was so different. Two girls started under 200lbs. Jillian is so nice & helpful! It's funny to see how much they ramped it up to keep people watching.

I really do miss those days when it was people you could relate to more. I mean, struggling with weight is struggling with weight, but I'll NEVER lose 26 pounds in 2 weeks like the 500 pound men they have on the new season. To me, that's not an inspiration as much as a discouragement.

I agree agoodrichgirl, its not realistic for a person at home and could be discouraging if you are setting too high a standard for yourself. Also, I don't need all the people to be extremely obese to make me watch. Like when they had Michael and he was 500+ lbs.
